Chapter 17: What? The Senju Clan is Gone?
"Alright, Shodai and Nidaime, can you tell me how you two were resurrected? And who is this man?"
Minato asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
After receiving Lux's approval, Hashirama and Tobirama didn't hide it either.
They briefly spoke about their origins and experiences.
Of course, the thrilling story of time travel once again frightened Minato and Hiruzen.
However, compared to Hiruzen, Minato was still a bit calmer. After all, a few years ago, when he went to the Roran Kingdom on a mission, he encountered a Konoha ninja suspected of traveling through space and time. Therefore, his acceptance of this miracle was also higher.
Perhaps it was precisely because he witnessed the greatness of Future Naruto that Minato dared to be head over heels for Kushina.
On the other hand, Lux, who called himself the Blessing Immortal, was even more shocking to Minato and Hiruzen.
However, due to the presence of Hashirama and Tobirama, as well as the pair of Rinnegan Eyes, Minato and Hiruzen could only temporarily believe Lux's identity.
Even if it was fake, being able to travel across space and time with the Ninja God himself was already terrifying!
He was definitely not someone Konoha could provoke now!
"Saru, it seems like this village just ended a war not long ago?"
"Yes. It was the Third Ninja World War. The casualties were enormous, truly tragic."
Hiruzen couldn't help but feel regret.
This battle was incredibly cruel. Many outstanding ninjas in Konoha lost their lives, almost breaking Konoha's backbone!
The White Fang committed suicide, the Konoha Sannin disbanded, and Might Duy died in battle.
Five Kage-level fighters alone were lost, not to mention the large number of mid and low-level ninjas killed.
If Minato hadn't appeared and destroyed the four great villages, it's estimated that this Third Ninja World War would have directly destroyed the entire Konoha!
"No matter what era, war is unavoidable? Tobirama, was our Bijuu prevention system truly wrong?"
Witnessing the Kyuubi Rebellion with their own eyes and hearing about the tragedy of the Third Ninja World War, both Hashirama and Tobirama began to question the feasibility of the Bijuu Prevention System from the depths of their hearts.
"Brother, let's discuss this later. I also need to think it over carefully."
Tobirama changed the subject and turned to Hiruzen again.
"Saru, who is the leader of the Uchiha Clan now?"
"Uchiha Fugaku."
"How many are left?"
"Thousands of people, only a few hundred ninjas."
"What about the Senju Clan? Who is the current clan leader? How many clan members are there?"
Hiruzen suddenly broke into a cold sweat and answered bravely:
"Ninjas from the Senju Clan sacrificed a lot in the two ninja world wars."
"The Second and Third Ninja World Wars? These people really don't stop! Can't we live without war? Saru, how many casualties did our clan suffer?"
"This..."
"Who is still alive? Don't tell me that every member of the Senju Clan is gone."
Tobirama was furious, the chakra in his body exploded, and killing intent emerged.
"Shodai granddaughter, Tsunade, is still alive!"
"Tsunade? Who is that?" Hashirama was slightly confused.
In the first year of Konoha in Parallel World 1, Tsunade hadn't even been born yet.
"Brother, that's your future granddaughter!"
"Oh! That's my granddaughter! Hahaha, my granddaughter must be very sweet, right? No, now after all these years, she should be a beautiful woman, right? Saru, can you let her come and see me?"
The sweat on Hiruzen's forehead became even more intense.
"Uh... She's not in the village now."
Hiruzen really didn't know how to explain it: Tsunade's lover and younger brother were both killed in the war, and she suffered a mental breakdown and fled Konoha.
"She's not in the village? Is she on a mission? What a coincidence!"
Hashirama didn't suspect anything, only a little regret.
Tobirama, who was interested in seeing Hiruzen's embarrassment again, found it hard to show it immediately. After some preparation, he would have a chance to talk to Hiruzen alone.
Next, Tobirama continued to catch Hiruzen asking for information, scolding him while questioning him.
Fortunately, this was the Hiruzen of 34 years later, and Tobirama's chakra hadn't recovered yet. Otherwise, Hiruzen would have been hung and beaten while being scolded.
And Hashirama, the number one idiot, pulled in the number four idiot, Minato, and chatted enthusiastically.
According to Tobirama, they seemed to have similar temperaments.
Although Minato learned all the forbidden techniques he found, compared to his own teacher who took over the role of the Second Hokage, this Fourth Hokage was more like a successor to the First Hokage.
Unfortunately, the 'harmonious' scene didn't last long.
Hashirama suddenly felt a repulsive force coming from his entire body, pressing down on him.
"Is this? What's happening?"
Lux looked at the system and understood the reason.
"Hashirama, your time in this world is almost up. No need to resist, just go back. There will be a chance to meet again next time."
Initially, as the leader of the bound forces in Parallel World 1, Hashirama could stay in Parallel World 4 for one hour.
However, because Hashirama had just taken action to subdue the Kyuubi, his stay time was also shortened.
They didn't belong to this world. Once they exerted their powerful strength, it would only accelerate the world's rejection of them.
If Hashirama used all his strength, he might only be able to stay in another parallel world for a few minutes.
And Lux himself had a systematic shield, so of course he had no influence and could stay indefinitely.
"Huh? But I still want to stay..."
Hashirama was clearly reluctant to give up. There were still many things he wanted to talk about with Minato.
Although it had only happened a short while ago. But Minato left a deep impression on him, almost exactly what he expected from a future Hokage.
Moreover, the concept of 'tolerant love' advocated by the other party directly resonated with Hashirama's heart.
Minato almost surpassed Madara's position in his heart.
Although he was reluctant to give up. However, Lux promised that there would be another chance to come again in the future, and Hashirama wouldn't refuse.
He immediately relaxed his body and let the world's rejection happen. Then, Hashirama disappeared from his spot and returned to Parallel World 1.
Minato and Hiruzen were increasingly terrified by Hashirama's sudden disappearance, and the last doubt in their hearts about Lux vanished.
"Sir, what about my older brother?"
"Don't worry, he just went back."
"What about me?"
"You can stay for about half an hour, of course I can send you back now."
Tobirama pondered deeply.
From a rational standpoint, of course he wanted to stay here and get more information about the future.
But from a perception standpoint. Once his brother left, Tobirama would definitely feel anxious. The overwhelming sense of security he initially felt immediately disappeared, and his tone was not as strong as before.
At that moment, a noisy sound came from a distance. It seemed like other Konoha support ninjas had arrived, and Hiruzen's ANBU ninjas were blocking them.
Everyone saw Minato taking the Kyuubi away, and Hiruzen chasing after him.
They were all worried about the outcome of the battle and rushed over, but now they were stopped by their own comrades, and conflict was unavoidable.
Moreover, it seemed like there were some of Danzo's root ninjas among them.
"Konoha has just been ravaged by the Bijuu, and they desperately need you to direct the impact." Tobirama said briefly.
Hiruzen finally relaxed after hearing this. He had been sweating profusely all night, and now he could finally relax a little.
He immediately retreated and rushed to direct rescue work.
"Yondaime, you're fine too!"
"It's a blessing that I can pass on my skills. Lead the village well and try to deal with that Uchiha named Obito as soon as possible."
"As for the rest, let's talk about it when I come with my brother next time."
Tobirama patted Minato on the shoulder and encouraged him in a thick tone.
Besides being slightly sentimental, he was also very satisfied with Minato. And after giving Minato a platform many times, he believed that Hiruzen wouldn't possibly limit Minato's power in the future.
"Okay, I will definitely follow Nidaime's instructions!"
Minato assured firmly.
For him, the best outcome was that this crisis ended safely tonight.
It all depended on Lux and the others' help!
Moreover, setting aside other factors, he also deeply respected the Second Hokage and wouldn't ignore his instructions.
Finally, Tobirama looked at Lux and respectfully requested:
"Sir, please send me back too. I still have many problems to solve there, and I haven't killed Kinkaku!"
Thinking of Ginkaku and Kinkaku, Tobirama gritted his teeth in hatred. He wished he could go back and kill the still-living Kinkaku to avoid future trouble!
